MotoGP updated its 2021 calendar
The FIM, IRTA and Dorna Sports have just revealed an updated calendar for the 2021 FIM MotoGP World Championship. With test sessions coming underway in another month, everyone is excited about the new season.
The season-opener remains confirmed as the Qatar Grand Prix for the 26th to the 28th of March and it will now be followed by a second event, the Grand Prix of Doha, at the same Losail International Circuit the following weekend, from the 2nd to the 4th of April.
The Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in Portugal will then host the third round of the Championship from the 16th to the 18th of April before the paddock heads to the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto as previously planned.
The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns and complications sadly oblige the postponement of both the Argentina GP and the Americas GP until the last quarter of 2021. Any further updates or changes will be provided as soon as available.
